i love the tough talk from all the edgelords saying "yeah wait until you take mine away then i'll be a real problem for you" -- lol they'll just lobotomize you. y'all have no idea what healthcare was like before anti-depressants, huh? you don't get a choice what happens to you after you act out ONCE in public. sure, talk your smack, it feels good... but, personally? i'm scared. my grandma used to get shocks, and that's when we actually had asylums... now we don't. pretty scary stuff, ngl. not enough room in jails for all of us... they'll find other solutions.
Creating an environment of corruption, chaos, hate and suffering. Hurting the majority of people economically, and ripping away hope for the future. Cutting programs that safeguard people, and specifically targeting their access to healthcare. And taking away the medications that help people deal with mental illness.
Sounds like a recipe for causing people to become desperate and decide they have nothing to lose.
Kennedy said he planned to dedicate money generated from a sales tax on cannabis products to “creating wellness farms—drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country.” He added, “I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need—three or four years if they need it—to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities.” The farm residents would grow their own organic food because, he suggested, many of their underlying problems could be “food-related.”
Hol up. They've gotten rid of all the people who used to pick fruit in rural areas, and now they want to send arbitrarily diagnosed "addicts" to these rural areas to live for "free".
RFK is one of those assholes who was depressed, changed his diet and worked out, and that was enough. And he thinks that solution works for everyone. And now he has power.
Fuck anyone that takes my SSRIs away from me. That would actually make me leave the country.
I could save them a lot of time and energy, here's all the solutions to things they're "studying".
Highly processed foods and lack of varied diets.
Extremely high healthcare costs that make treatment/cures unreachable.
General distrust of medical professionals due to online guidance being actively harmful for most people.
Long commutes and general shift to online/office work has lead to greater rates of inactivity.
Lack of in person community leads to isolation and mental health issues.
High costs of living, being told your neighbors are your enemies, disinformation in the news making it hard to be informed or knowledgeable, and constant threats to people's lives leading to mental health issues.
People taking ivermectin like it's Elon musk doing ketamine.
I hope to god everyone on antidepressants isn’t about to go through what people with ADHD have been going through for medication access. Ridiculous hoops to jump through, short term prescriptions, doctors treating you like a criminal, and medication shortages have made life miserable for so many people.
Does he want a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him and his fellow maga stooges? Because this is how he gets a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him.
According to the article RFK wants to find the “root causes” of a broad range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, asthma, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Sure thing, while the his fellow fucking MAGAts shut down and destroy US medical research and increase deregulations pertaining to the food industry and pollution.
“When government researchers follow Kennedy’s orders to study SSRIs, they’ll find reams of research, including long-term studies, that have found that the drugs are safe and non-addictive.“
Suicide rates are going to spike if this idiot gets his way. I may well be one of the statistics before it's over, if he takes away my access to medicine that has enabled me to live a somewhat normal life, not that it'll matter to him or his ilk. The cruelty, as the kids like to say, is the point, I guess.
Keep taking away reasons for people to live. I'm sure millions of desperate, voiceless victims with nothing left to lose will not backfire for the people in charge at all.
He's doing you all a favor. You don't need meds; to cure the depression you just need to get off the bed, have a walk every day and smile more. Right? Right?
smh...
(just in case, /s, it's a shame that we can't tell anymore without announcing it)
